Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs chicken wings to the marinade, tossing to coat fully. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place wings on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes until wings are cooked through and have charred edges.
Step 5: Remove wings from grill and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves evenly over the wings before serving.
